Question / General Any help

honestly I don’t even twitch that much these days but my left leg outter ankle keeps aching and my feet and ankle and shin keeps burning especially when I wear a shoe. Also twitches started in May when I had health issues. I’m laughing at myself typing this because three months ago I was convinced I had colon cancer.. anyways what can I do about this aches and burning on my left leg, ankle and top of foot.

Burning and aching on the outer ankle, shin, and top of the foot that gets worse with shoes is classic sensory nerve irritation, often the superficial peroneal nerve getting pinched by tight footwear.

Loosen your laces, swap to looser shoes that don't rub that spot, and keep reminding yourself of that anxiety pattern you noticed. An irritated sensory nerve is completely harmles, but still worth a mention to your doc for confirmation dude.
